Big News!

The cat is out of the bag. I am a Soccer Mom. For everyone that didn't know, they now know. Yes I am that rabid mom on the side line screaming at my child to run and suck it up! Yes that is me.

So recently G had the opportunity to try out for the ODP, The Olympic Development Program. The ODP is a fantastic program for the kids to compete on a national level. They have the state teams, regional teams, then finally the national team. Each state holds their own tryout. There were over a 1000 kids from Elite brackets all over Texas who came for a shot to make the Texas pool. They managed to wheedle the kids down to 56 after a grueling 3 day tryout. They then held 3 more training/tryout events all over Texas and narrowed it down to the final 32.

I am so pleased to say that HE MADE THE 32!!!! He made the Texas State Olympic Development team!

So whats next? Next he is off to camp in Alabama for a week, with a chance to be held over for the regional team. The regional team is made up of southern states.. South of North Carolina, East of Texas. So we are very excited about this, and truly soccer mad here in the house right now!!!
WELL DONE G!!!!
WE WILL BE SUPPORTING YOU ALL THE WAY!!!!
